The Thorn Man knelt down in front of the black crystal, his arms in the ground, and let out a low roar similar to the friction of a tree. The fire in his eyes flickered and flickered, and he was clearly in a state of agitation. Hundreds of pitch-black thorns sprang out of the ground with this low roar, and then fell limply after reaching the highest point in a straight line, scattering around the body.

I don't know how long it took, but the Thorn Man finally became quiet, and all the thorns that were sticking out of the ground retracted. Luo Ning was about to step forward to pick up the black gem, but saw the Thorn Man pick it up and hold it in the palm of his hand.

"What are you going to do?!put the gem down!" Fanya was about to snatch the gem, but was stopped by Ronin.

"Fanya, don't be impulsive!" Ronin grabbed the pet's arm, preoccupying the Thorn Man. I saw it turn around slowly, and the two ghostly flames in its eyes looked motionlessly at the black gem surrounded by dozens of thorns.

Perhaps out of trust in his own intuition, or perhaps for some other reason, Luo Ning stood still until the Thorn Man took the initiative to speak: "From the moment my soul met Lord Nelly and was given this body by her magic, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. Because Nelli is the vessel of this 'Shadow', she is destined to sacrifice herself and give the Shadow to someone who can wield its true power. But this is really not fair! Why is there an immortal soul in the container of the 'living being' that can protect her life, and Lady Nelli can only sacrifice herself for this kind of ghost thing alone, and finally end up giving up her life and soul?"

Seeing that it was getting more and more excited, Fanya asked in a whisper, "Master, this guy won't do anything out of the ordinary, right?"

Perhaps it was a kind of sympathy for the thorn people, Luo Ning's interest was not high: "Of course not! From the day she was saved, the white deer just now became his real soul." The white deer's wish is its highest will! He will never disobey this wish, I am sure!"

As if to confirm your suspicion, the Thorn Man stopped talking to himself and offered the black crystal in its entirety: "Take it, human! I'm a little tired and don't want to be bothered by anyone anymore!" With that, the Thorn Man turned around and walked to the place where the white deer had disappeared, and began a low chant that was almost like crying. One by one, black thorns of varying lengths emerged from the ground and swirled around its torso until a black tower of thorns in the shape of a cone, standing tall in the middle of the barren land.

Ronin clutched the black diamond in his palm, his eyes staring at the tower of thorns.

"Master?" Fenia sensed the confusion in Luo Ning's heart, and saw his brows twisted like knots, and couldn't help hugging his arm, raising her head slightly and calling him softly.

"Whew, let's go!" Luo Ning put away the worry on his face and hid that emotion even deeper.

He took a half step and felt his arm tighten, only to see Fania motionless in place, a pair of amethyst-like eyes shining with tears, the worry in his heart filled his chest, and two transparent tears overflowed the corners of his eyes. The master and servant looked at each other silently for a moment, Luo Ning still couldn't bear to see her worried about crying, so he took the initiative to surrender and wiped away his tears with a smile: "Don't worry." I'm just worried that one day... No, I'm not a thorny man, and Wendy isn't the white deer! I can't take her away from this damn fate now, but as long as I keep getting stronger and keep fighting it, one day, all the difficulties and enemies will be trampled under my feet and crushed in the palm of my hand!"

Looking at the radiant look blooming in Luo Ning's eyes, Fania smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were full of obsession, and she only felt that at this moment, all the light between heaven and earth converged on the top of Luo Ning's head. She wanted to stay in this moment forever, but when she remembered Luo Ning's decisive words, she hoped that time could continue to fly by, jumping directly to the day when his dream came true.

Taking a deep breath and calming down her faster and faster heartbeat, Fania smiled: "Now, master, you can't forget Fanya! The master works hard for a day, and Fanya will work hard for a day! The master suffers, and Fanya suffers with it; the master suffers, and Fanya suffers with it! No matter what the master wants to do, Fanya willingly accompanies the master." No one can drive me away, not even the master himself!"

Luo Ning suddenly heard such straightforward and sincere words, and his heart instantly became warm, and he felt very useful. He smiled and stretched out his finger and flicked Fanya's forehead: "You stinky girl, why can't you think of something good.....?" Thank you, Fanya, and I feel blessed to have you by my side. I ......"

There were many words in Luo Ning's throat that he wanted to confide in her, but after seeing that beautiful face that was slightly flushed, he felt that all the good words were superfluous.

"Let's go. If the undead kill one of Vess's relatives, I will ask them to pay off their debts with a thousand lives! plus the price of their invasion of Morrowind, we will kill him by killing 10,000 undead before returning home!"

This time, Fanya didn't stop him, but turned into a real body, carrying Ronin into the purple clouds. Fly deeper into Tarazze.

At the same time, Karen also told the branch dean of the branch that she needed to return to the main courtyard in advance, and set off from the teleportation magic array in the branch to return to the Morrowind royal capital.

The light receded, and the dizziness caused by the teleportation quickly disappeared. Karen opened her eyes, only to see that the instructors of the Magic Academy were standing outside the teleportation magic array. The old dean Flamel stood in the middle of the crowd with a black cane and his back hunched, his face slightly pale, but his eyes were full of joy and anticipation.

"You're back, little girl from Miller!" said the old dean greeted Karen and gave her a hug. This honor surprised Karen, who is usually silent and low-key. She looked at Mentor Maggie as if asking for help, but saw that she was just smiling and nodding at herself, not thinking that there was anything wrong with the old dean's actions.

"Dean, I'm ......"

Flamel coughed lightly, wrinkles stacked at the corners of his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face: "I have heard about it from the branch dean just now! Thanks to you driving out the high-ranking undead in Lutenburg, those locals who fled were able to return to their homeland." ”

"I!" Karen's face turned red, and she wanted to say that it was not her own credit, but she had never been able to deceive, so she changed her tone and said, "It's all thanks to Ronin." If he hadn't been here, I'd have died a long time ago!"

Flamel didn't ask, but looked behind Karen, released his magic power and sensed it for a moment, and said strangely: "What about that kid Ronin? Why didn't he come back with you? You said there was an emergency, what happened?"
